Seven-day tour in Turkey: Turkey can get close to the quiet sunshine of the Mediterranean and feel the ancient vicissitudes of Istanbul. Day 1: Shanghai-Istanbul TK 21 departs from Shanghai Pudong Airport on the night of 23/45. Beijing Capital Airport stops for customs clearance. The flight takes about 1 hours. The next day: Istanbul (Byzantine Monument) arrived in Istanbul in the early morning.
remember to look down at the airport from the plane. Looks like a leaf cabinet floating on Mal Malakhei. After a short rest in the hotel, take the bus or subway to Taksim Square. Pigeons can be released in the square. You can stroll in the lounge or take photos in front of the square monument. There are many tourist buses gathered near the square, which are naturally not as big as the bustling Shanghai Tourism Distribution Center, and also provide convenient transportation for those who bring their own bags.
It takes more than 2 minutes to reach Eminoo on Tour Line 4, or you can get off one stop earlier and cross the Bosphorus Bridge across Europe and Asia, where you can see the fishing skills of local people and taste the flavor of grilled fish under the bridge. At the other end of the bridge is the historical tourist area of Istanbul, which is one of the world cultural heritages. The Cathedral of Saint Sofia, the Old Palace of Topkapu, the Colosseum of Rome, the Blue Mosque, the Underground Water Palace and the Grand Bazaar can all be caught here. The cooked corn in the ancient Roman Colosseum was also very satisfying. The local people sprinkle a layer of fine salt on the cooked corn to set off the sweetness of the corn. If there is enough time, these scenic spots can also be taken slowly in two days.
airport bus: about $8 per person. Tickets for scenic spots: about $3. Subway ticket: Bus ticket for Line 4: about $5. The local currency is Turkish lira, and one dollar is about 1.25 lira. Day 3: Prince Island roams Turkey. Like Emperor China, Sudan has three palaces and six courtyards, and its descendants are in groups. In order to compete for the throne, princes inevitably crowd out each other, winning and losing.
Defeated princes are often deported to live on islands near Istanbul, which is the full name of the four islands. Now, the smoke has dispersed, and Prince Island has become a gathering place for holiday villas because it faces the sea and blooms in spring. Cars are forbidden on the island, only carriages and pedestrians come and go. Arrive in Eminoo by the route yesterday morning and buy a ticket to Prince Island, which takes about 5 minutes. A row of fish restaurants in Prince Island Port, enjoying the invincible seascape and tasting local seafood, seagulls flying outside the window, and occasionally white yachts jumping on the sea. In your spare time, you can rent a bicycle or simply travel around the island by carriage and enjoy the beautiful villa courtyard. I only envy birds on the sea and lazy cats on the island, not immortals. After returning to Istanbul, you can continue to visit the magnificent new palace built by the sea. But it is estimated that the beautiful scenery on the island will delay you for a long time, and you can only wait until tomorrow. Round-trip ticket to Prince Island: about $6. Fresh fish powder: about $15 per person.
station wagon: 2~4 USD/vehicle. Four people can take it at the same time. Day 4: Visiting the new city Istanbul has both the vicissitudes of the old city and the modern new city. In the morning, you might as well go to Eminoo first, then visit the famous Bosphorus by boat, and then get off at the new palace. White palace, blue sea, intoxicated first. This place has reached the new town. After visiting the new palace, you can go up the stairs, cross the international five-star hotel, cross the dense green trees and cross the block (hehe, climbing the mountain to test your physical strength). On the way, you can find a roadside restaurant and get rid of your lunch. Walk to the military museum. There will be a military music performance in the military museum at 3 pm. It would be a pity to miss it.
in the evening, find a hamam or belly dance restaurant in Eminonu to relax. It depends on the authentic belly dance performance or in Turkey. Admission: USD 15/person Turkish bath: USD 2-5 Turkish belly dance: USD 2-5 Day 5: Istanbul-Antalya TK 414 1125/124 Take the HAVAS to Taksim Square and fly to the summer Mediterranean resort of Antalya. When you arrive at the airport, you may be caught off guard by the direct sunlight from Antalya. Don't worry, you'd better go to the hotel first.
Some resort hotels in Antalya provide airport shuttle service. If not, the airport bus will arrive at Antalya Stadium Station, and then transfer to an air-conditioned car in Bejlek tourist area. Brother driver will help deliver it to your hotel door. When you get to the hotel by the sea, the sea breeze will take away all the heat, and you will really feel the summer with only sunshine and no heat. Put down your schoolbag and play games with the sunshine.
How can Antalya have a beautiful summer without a beautiful resort hotel? Day 6: Antalya-Shanghai TK425 21/163 I have seen the witness of Istanbul's history, so I might as well throw myself into the embrace of the Mediterranean. Swimming at the seaside and reading a book, even if you accidentally fall asleep in the sound of the waves, why not? Even though this place was a gift from the Roman emperor to Cleopatra, it left countless historical sites, such as Greece and Rome. However, how can you stay with such a blue sea and blue sky and a fine breeze and sand? It takes about 3 minutes from the hotel to the airport at night, so it is more convenient to take a taxi directly, which can save time with the Mediterranean.
when we leave the customs in Istanbul, we can arrive at Antalya airport one hour in advance. After the next 1 hours of flight, I slowly woke up from the holiday ~ ~ ~ Day 7: Shanghai arrived at Pudong Airport in the afternoon. Ah, the dead have to go home tomorrow to continue their hard work. Air tickets can be booked from Turkish Airlines Shanghai Office: about 7,2 RMB/person Visa: Istanbul Hotel is handled by major international outbound agencies, and the old district hotel is 4 stars at 6 USD/night, including breakfast. Maybe you can find something cheaper online. Antalya Hotel, a five-star hotel near the sea in belek Resort, is highly recommended, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. 2 dollars/night, but if you only stay for one night, it's still worth it.
if two people travel together, the total amount is about RMB 3,.

Turkey's self-help travel strategy benefits from the travel notes and strategies of many friends and tourists on the poor travel network. This self-help tour in Turkey went well. I want to record the whole trip, hoping to help my friends who are going to travel to Turkey.
